What moves the price

Number of pages

Home, services, work, about and contact cover most showcase websites in five pages. Each extra page adds design, content and checking work.

Who prepares the content

The more complete your introduction, service list and photographs, the less time goes into organising them. Writing or translating content from scratch is separate work.

What the site has to do

A showcase site that explains the business and leads to an enquiry costs least. Online booking, payments, member accounts, product management and system integrations each need their own scope.

Who looks after it after launch

With one-time delivery you manage the server after handover. A managed plan puts hosting, HTTPS and small content updates into an annual fee.

Languages

An English and Chinese site means doing each page’s content and checks a second time, so it is usually priced as an add-on.

Costs outside the website build

These are usually paid directly to third parties, whoever builds the site. When comparing quotes, check whether a price includes them.

Domain

Registration and yearly renewal. The domain should be registered in your name, in an account you control.

Business email

Addresses on your own domain, usually billed per user, monthly or yearly.

Server or hosting

A one-time website is deployed to your own server, and you pay the server charges directly.

Third-party services

Payment gateway fees, booking or ecommerce software and messaging services are charged at each provider’s rates.

Three years, side by side

The two showcase-website plans at current prices, in one table.

This is a comparison at current prices, not a prepaid three-year plan or a price guarantee. Neither plan includes domain and email fees, optional additions, extra content updates, new pages or new features.

The managed plan costs less in year one and includes hosting and a monthly content update; one-time delivery gives you the full source code and control of the server. Which works out cheaper depends on your own server charges and on who will make changes after launch.

Add-ons and separate charges

Independent Website Package

Domain and email fees, server charges, Basic Logo Design S$160, second language up to five pages S$160, extra pages S$160 each, extra revision rounds S$60 each, footer credit removal S$20 one-time and custom features are separate.

Managed Website Package

Domain registration, renewal and business email are separate. Additional content updates, redesigns, new pages and new features are quoted separately. Footer credit removal is S$20 one-time.

Five questions to ask before you pay

1. Whose name, and whose account, is the domain registered in?
2. Do I receive the full source code, or only use of the site while I pay?
3. How many revision rounds are included, and what does another round cost?
4. Which changes after launch are included, and which need a new quote?
5. What happens to the website and its content if I stop renewing?

Krawdex answers each of these in the questions on its package pages.
